1 13.5 Oz. Can Unsweetened Coconut Milk

1 1/2 Cups Milk, divided

1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar + 1 Tbsp.

1/4 Tsp. Kosher Salt

1/4 Cup Cornstarch

1 Tbsp. All Purpose Flour

4 Large Egg Yolks

4 Tbsp. Butter

1 1/2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract

1 Tsp. Coconut Extract

1 1/2 Cups Unsweetened Coconut

Topping

1 Cup Heavy Cream

2 Tbsp. Powdered Sugar

1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract

1 Tsp. Coconut Extract

Pinch of Kosher Salt

1/2 Cup Unsweetened Coconut, Toasted (for garnish)

Thaw your pie crust and roll it out on a floured surface slightly, just until it can cover your 9 inch pie plate. Crimp the edges and bake for 8-10 minutes. Or according to package directions. Allow it to cool for 15 minutes.

In a medium pot, add in the 1 Cup milk, sugar, salt, and bring to a simmer.

In a large bowl combine the remaining 1/2 cup milk, egg yolks, flour, cornstarch, and mix until well combined. Add 1/2 Cup simmering milk mixture to the egg mixture making sure to stir constantly. This tempers the eggs so they don't curdle. Add in the remaining simmering milk and whisk thoroughly.

Using a fine mesh sieve strain this mixture back into the pot and bring up to a simmer once again. Whisk until the custard has thickened.

Once again strain thorough a fine mesh sieve and pour into a clean bowl. Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, coconut extract, coconut and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, place this mixture into the fridge and allow to chill for 3 hours.

After 3 hours of chilling your base, make the whipped topping by placing the heavy cream, vanilla extract, coconut extract, and powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and using an electric mixer whip until stiff peaks have formed.

Once the coconut cream has chilled assemble your pie, layer in all of your coconut cream mixture top with whipped cream and toasted coconut.
